Back in the 90s when the John Paul first started allowing churches to have Latin Masses the Basilica in Dyersville offered such a Mass. I decided to go out there and see what one of those was like since I was born after the Second Vatican Council - what Mass was like for my parents growing up.

There's a beauty and other world-ness to the Latin Mass that you don't see in other services.
